Dark gets Cannon Rushed.

[@joakimmyrberg4204]

I have never played this games. Never been a gamer at all. Just stumbled over this channel. Somehow it helps me sleep!

[@MiruTheBest]

Yeah Lowko has good voice, very good to sleep

[@lasercats9297]

I swear sometimes its like herO lets his cousin play on his account, his highs are high but lows are downright confusing

[@allhailderpfestor4839]

Hero on good day: as good as, sometimes even better than Maxpax Hero on bad day: plays like generic low GM toss.

[@pixelpox11]

I don't recall a game where hero didn't commit like 3-4 major tactical mistakes. I think he always played really slopply

[@hydraulichydra8363]

Yeah that was definitely painful...

[@magnusbjarni]

He plays really well in general, but boy does he make tactical mistakes. Like in game 3, splits the zealots like a master, but immediately sends them into the banelings and loses them all. Same game, he puts down good stasis wards, but goes far into the creep and gives Dark a chance to surround him on the retreat. The wall was also left empty. But it also worked kind of in his favour for a little bit, cause there was one lurker that attacked his army and he immediately backed off, which was good cause it was the same moment Dark attacked his base. So it meant herO could actually defend. Basically, great at playing, but he can seemingly only focus on one thing at a time, be it tactics, macro or micro. When he excels at one, he fails pretty badly at the others

This is your Observer: 36:50 This is your Observer on F2: 36:53 Don't do F2.

[@therealfakecaptain7978]

"F2 : Not Even Once."

[@hydraulichydra8363]

As a toss main, unbinding F2 was the best decision I ever made.

[@ZDarabos]

You mentioned that Dark had his first child not long ago. I am pretty sure new parents don't have to start military service, so they can support the mother in the most crucial period.

[@SquintyGears]

The child is a few months old. The interview is 2 years old. It doesn't line up.

[@bricelory9534]

I forgot how much of a boss Dark is. I look forward to seeing how he handles the new patch.

[@jeremyduke4938]

He still feels like a bargain bin serral.

[@inkberrywastaken]

@@jeremyduke4938 serral is a boring version of dark

[@bricelory9534]

​@@jeremyduke4938 Nah, Serral is undeniably an incredible player, but Dark's approach is radically different I would argue. Less technically proficient, I agree, but seemingly unparalleled at reading situations moment-by-moment and leveraging small gaps in his opponents.

[@blipboigilgamesh7865]

​@@jeremyduke4938 idk, dark's style is very different from serral. Serral is very precise, build oriented, while dark is much more based on improvisation and clever tactics, it's really cool how there can be so much variation in playstyle when it comes to the too players

[@ingrudmessenger1193]

@@bricelory9534 Yeah i think reading situations is the real strength of Dark. And that kinda both macro and micro wise, he always knows how much Zerglings for he example he needs to send in to pull the widow mine shot to the terran army and still get away with net benefit. Other players may do that when they see it already aiming, but i think Dark is the only one actively hunting armies just for that friendly fire, and he always uses the perfect amount.

[@BatttleBun]

No intro song. Maybe next time 😢

[@justsomeguy1671]

29:29 imagine making colosus at this point...with 1 observer. after such an amzing opening w 11 drone kills it would have been gg almost inevitably

[@NecroGoblin-yl2fx]

hope we will see some major buffs to corruptors. Zerg is really lacking some anti air. but in general some better late game play for Zergs. if not i see zerg players just rushing to end games fast or lose.

[@bricelory9534]

I'm all for seeing if an additional +1 range to air for Hydra would make them more viable anti air options. I agree they have the worst tier 3. Broodlords need a tweak.

[@RndmBad]

@@bricelory9534 Broodlords seem like such an easy fix to me. Allow them to mutate back into Corruptors.

[@NecroGoblin-yl2fx]

@@RndmBad think it would be strange if they could mutate into Corruptors, it would be a mineral sink. broodlords are anti ground, but could get a short range anti air attack, weak damage ofc but could help a bit. but i could see the Swarmhost get an upgrade a kin to like in the campaign where they shoot attacking both ground and air.

[@ericcortazar9349]

@@NecroGoblin-yl2fx Y'all are high with these suggestions and I main zerg lmao. Zerg would be too powerful if they did most of that stuff, or just outright weird. I agree with you that if the balance council doesn't take note of zerg's late game weakness, no match against zerg is gonna go past the 30 minute mark.

[@Shazbot277]

Hero had 1 probe and a dream that turned into a nightmare

[@roinervalencia9297]

Al ver este encuentro después de tantos del nuevo parche, me doy cuenta que el mayor impacto negativo del Zerg es el tremendo nerf de la Queen.

[@joeludlow8837]

No es bueno

[@stalwart56k]

Honestly the singing it why I clicked like! You sound pretty good Lowko! We need a complete Bohemian Rhapsody parody about the Mothership.

[@edelcuesta8283]

😂😂😂

[@guibettio578]

gobo is playing so much better Protoss than hero. You should cast some of his games! He and Shin have been surprising me a lot

[@Danielviomusic]

Hero is the best player in the world at looking as the best pro player ever one day, and one of the worst right the next day.

[@N0noy1989]

That's just because Zest is in the military. Zest is the king of throws. Then again, hero has that match against Serral that he just threw away an absolute win.

[@yerbool]

Just a suggestion for map creators, could we have a patch of map (sth like 7x7) with tall grass where units loose their range considerably and units like zealots become much stronger. Perhaps the idea has been out there before. Might increase battle and strat variety in the future.

[@containsletteratoz]

Got my youtube recap today. Apparently I'm in your top 0.5 percent of frequent viewers or something 🎉 think that deserves a like button mash. Never played starcraft, cant remember how I found this channel, but godamn I'm glad I did... You're awesome dude

[@1389Chopin]

Great cast!!

[@TheJuutai]

Lowko AI: These units here, they don't mess around.

[@Mikivericks]

Thanks for the video, Lowko. This was a fun series to watch. Appreciate it! ❤

[@tompickel]

I love rushes! Thank you

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

If only Hero would put one of those stasis wards in his wall-off and use his opponent's zerglings to plug the wall

[@floriandaill5166]

Rivals for life: Dark&Hero, Reynor&Clem aaaand Serral&…well…Everyone!

[@user-sh7ip6bl2h]

HI LOWKOOOO!!!! If you want a great mod to try out, its acrually a minecraft one, called The Reign of Nether. While the only single player level is the tutorial, there is multiplayer aswell. Obviously its not as smooth or complicated as sc2, but its still pretty amazing!

[@graham1034]

PTR: Hide yo kids, hide yo wife. Yo mom's safe though

[@Probc-or9yu]

Keep the vids coming Lowko. LOVING IT

[@Markfr0mCanada]

Now that you've mentioned it, I honestly want to see what it would sound like if an AI trained on your videos, and then tried to be you while being shown a game of SC2. I'm genuinely curious, would it sound ok...ish? Would it be absolutely cursed? Would it be so close that some people couldn't tell it apart? I think that could be fun to play around with.

[@snowmanking8169]

Some people think that protoss needs a buff, personal I think that they just need to stop using the all army hotkey and missrallying units. The best zergs and terrans never do that kind of thing.

[@davidwing2081]

I was hoping to see those infestors clear the carriers at the end of the last game

[@dophir17]

Korea does have laws allowing individuals of cultural significance to delay mandatory service, but I've never heard of anyone forgoing it outright. This law was passed when K-Pop groups were at risk of losing key members, but maybe Dark decided pro gamers are on the same level as BTS.

[@mysteryblankdspace4342]

Woohoo! The classic match!😅🎉

[@Menai1888]

i mean, dark could just do his military service rigth now. but hes a drone pilot and he just multitask it while hes playing.....

[@cowmath77]

How would I have possibly known what to look at without the arrow pointing to the forge??? Thank you for the map!

[@DarkCT]

today is just Toss getting wrecked. protoss lows make you question what the overall quality of player they have even is sometimes...

[@oshawott4544]

The perfect video to watch for my pre-work burger prep!

[@nathanmiller4880]

i wouldn't mind seeing some mirror matches every once in while, some zvz or pvp

[@jumeu9764]

I think it's time to take the bandaid off, in my opinion it's clear goblin is way better than Hero, the fight in 30:00 makes it pretty clear Hero has no what it takes to pile on the pressure, unlike maxpax and goblin can. I know they both have very different playstyles but I can see Goblin performing just aswell if not better than Hero with his playstyle, and despite me being a semi-recent starcraft 2 viewer, I don't remember a single game that Lowko didn't point out a shit ton of mistakes Hero made, unlike the two previous videos from goblin. Of course Hero is a top tier player nonetheless, but I just can't rank him up there with the true elite, which in my mind ranking goblin is approaching quickly, we gotta see a few more games from him against elite to get a accurate guess. (this is all just my opinion :) )

[@gabapc]

herO may have an ugly playstyle but he gets the best protoss tournament results. Thats how the players are evaluated. Results in tournaments. With unfortunately a massive skew towards offline tournaments. I would never expect Goblin or even Maxpax to replicate what herO did last offline tournament. If we got a maxpax debut in next offline tournament and Goblin played, i would still expect herO and Showtime to have the 2 best protoss results.
